I'm here to do research on the Baja, not see if anyone responds to the partial story I wrote about Randy. Now some people who have asked about him have been updated. Based on your response, your elite nomad status, and how you treat some people on this board - I can tell this site has gone to your head. Do you even have a life besides this forum?

David, Thank you for the newspaper update. Randy paid for a 3 month subscription to the GG for me to compare it to all the other news outlets focusing on Baja. He didn't have that good an impression of the GG either, and pretty much said what you said but wanted me to read a few issues just the same. I'll mention the BT paper to him, so he can get me a subscription for my research on Baja. As for Randy dropping out of this forum and many other things in his life back in 2005. Simple explanation: severe health issues. He didn't know where he was for a period of time, had to be hospitalized with blood clots, and bed confined because of lymphatic system failure from being poisoned earlier in the year. The doctors thought he had NH lymphoma cancer and still test him regularly. He had a tough battle in 2005 and his health started to improve in early 2006. He said that being online was not a good place for him to be when he was not all there, and his posts are proof that he was lost in space - as he calls it. His many rambling downright out there forum posts on BN that he pointed me towards two days ago paint a very clear of why he dropped off this forum, and off the web for a period of time. He wanted me to read them so I knew about them, as many were about me. I'm the lady that he met back in April 2005, and I have read all his posts. I cried for hours after reading them. I'm the cancer survivor and we have pretty much looked after each other this past 18 months since we met. He had to learn to walk properly again, so he could hike again. In the summer of 2005 he couldn't speak clearly, hold a fork or a knife to eat at times, and had trouble holding a coherent conversation for many months. He would disappear for days into the bush, and was always wandering off track into never never land when we tried to speak with him, and when the dis ease within his blood subsided after blood treatments he stopped shaking violently and his health improved. He is now too coherent and articulate in conversations, and has the ability to mezmerize the many people he meets with his thoughtfulness, charm and eloquence. He wants to start drawing, cartooning and practicing magic again, but doesn't have the time. He's always busy volunteering and helping people with something, besides doing his own things, work, and spending time with me. When he was very sick he would think he was in the Baja at a beach he called Elreqeson. I would like to learn more about this place? He mentioned you David K. And speaks very highly of you and your knowledge and love for the Baja. He mentioned someone named Jrbaja and an older gentleman named Skeet and always spoke highly of both of them. He said Jr was like the alpha male on the board, and from what I have read, Randy was right in saying he was always entertaining and outspoken. Randy was very saddened when he heard of his passing. He did mention Sharks Baja today when I asked him about him. Randy speaks highly of Sharks and said he helped Randy when he had severe sun stroke back in 2005. and credits him with telling him to take two aspirin and get help. I remember that day when we almost lost him from the sun stroke fever. He is very busy now, very happy and focused on his passion for his work. He just finished a talk on personal development where he volunteers his time to speak with troubled youth in the area. Of note is his message to them at the end - where he quotes Maslow, 'At the heart of our journey humans should try to recognise ourselves and one another as human beings and not human doings because if we don't we become detached from each other and what it means to be human. Leading a good fulfilling Life is about making good choices. And then at the end, he always says, 'The only humans you have to impress is yourself, and that choice is yours.' I'll check back here in a month or so. Managed to find what I came here for, and now I have to get back to things. Take care David, and all the best Sharks. Life is too short to make enemies. You can never have too many new friends. Cheers, and I envy you in all that warmth and sunshine. SA ‘We are our choices, with the freedom to redesign our lives by those choices.' |
